Riverview Hall, St. Cloud, Minnesota

Oldest Minnesota State University Structure Restored

Project Challenge

The oldest Minnesota State University structure, the Riverview classroom building, was originally constructed in 1913 at St. Cloud State University. Added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1988, the goal of the 2008-09 renovation project was to restore the original beauty, condition and character to this historic classroom building.

Faced with challenges ranging from removal of existing lead painted windows, to matching oversized windows and existing window details, JELD-WEN was selected for the task.

As the project is located on the bank of the Mississippi River, the building is exposed to high winds and the extreme temperatures of harsh Minnesota winters. A customized panning system was developed to not only match the original brickmould, but to meet or exceed the high level of air and water performance ratings demanded by the architectural design requirements.

Architectural Solution

Working for three years in concert with the architect, the JELD-WEN Architectural Consultants assisted with design elements as well specification writing.
